Shared Global Vision –
Continuing Peace in the World
We add to the peace in the world every time we go into the world in a peaceful manner.
It may be a challenge to maintain it, but peace is where we start.
In our work routines, our errands, our provision for our household, we reference the deep peace we establish each morning.
In our inner listening, we receive strong, gentle messages which allow us to govern our day with peace.
The gentleness is always there. It is an ever-Presence.
The strength is also there.
It is never broken, and remains a reference point for all our actions.
We find that our peace attracts helpful clerks and cashiers and salespeople.
We are directed to parking spots.
Little conveniences show up out in the world when we enter it with peace.
We can add peace to the news we hear.
We can take a deep breath and know there is a solution which is available as people tune into it by filling up with peace instead of fear.
Our place in the world is determined by our peace.
It is wonderful to read about the solutions which are being developed by people in every field.
As they do their research and listen for solutions, answers show up.
I am grateful to be able to search for these news stories and to find them.
There is so much compassion in people who are looking for and finding solutions.
That is what they are open to.
We receive what we are open to receive.
From the order and peace in our home, we can be open to solutions in the world.
We can take our own steps as they are revealed to us and we can support those who are already taking steps for continuing peace.
As we nurture well-being for all, those are the solutions we are open to receive.
We receive them and others join with us to implement them.

Pebbles of Peace Pathway 3.13 –
A Positive and Beneficial Effect
Why does writing these ideas down have such a positive and beneficial effect for me?
As I am searching for answers, I release my thought to find them.
Since I want to live better, my thought “within” always comes back with something good that I will accept.
My goal is to have a more enlightened way to approach my life, so that is what I receive back.
As I read inspired writers, it gives me a greater sense of my worth.
As I explore a different view of my worth, I am finding it.
Each culture has definitions of worth.
I am finding that my worth is in what deeply satisfies me.
From my readings, I find that is the case with others of many different cultures.
That is worth knowing.
How we define ourselves and how we define our satisfaction is how we define our worth.
Since I have found other writers to help me assess myself and redefine my sense of worth, I imagine that I am also contributing in this way.

Your Diamond Mind –
Power of Peaceful Ideas
Ideas which bring peace to us expand to bring peace to others.
When we learn to live a life of peace, it counteracts the disturbances and violence of the news.
We learn to reject what does not bring well-being for all.
We learn to continue to expand our peace even in the midst of the news and advertising harassment.
We have a life which characterizes the inner listener.
We are prepared for whatever may come through quiet, habitual, daily listening within.
The ideas which we share are peaceful ideas.
They generate peace when they are practiced.
We live in a way which promotes well-being for all.
No one is left out.
This generates peace.
When we are all able to contribute our skills and talents and gifts to creating a peaceful community, we all do well.
We all know each other.
No one is left in isolation.
We value and respect everyone.
We are all worthy.
We look for opportunities for self-improvement and for opportunities to offer skills development through sharing our knowledge.
Whatever is needed in our community can be met by those who are willing to learn new skills.
With this community-wide practice, we have an overflow of gifts to share.
We invite other communities to develop their local resources.
We invite them to practice daily inner listening, individually, and collectively.
Whatever is brought for common cause can be acted on in a way which contributes well-being for all.
This is the greatest gift for all of us, at any time.

Life-Path Story Maze #1 –
I take the next step along my life-path.
My life-path evolves step by step.
When I am unsure of my path, I listen within.
The message that comes to me is in the deep peace of quiet listening.
All day, I can continue to receive the messages which guide my steps.
Here I am.
What is the next step?
I am Guided from within.
Perhaps, the message is to wait patiently.
Perhaps the message is to take a tiny step.
Step by step, my life-path is revealed to me.
I may be quite far along my life-path before I realize the shape it is taking.
Only from the perspective of much listening and acting is it even visible.
The uncertainty which caused me to listen within has changed to sure Guidance.
I approach my day differently.
I can see that I have a connection to the Divine.
That certainty changes things.
I have a direction from within.
I am not motivated by outward things.
My sole goal is not to accumulate; it is to express.
What is it that I am to express?
Gentleness and kindness in everything.
I must be gentle and kind to myself before I can express it authentically to others.
I build my path on gentleness and kindness.
Each tiny step increases the gentleness and kindness in the world.
By listening within, I am worthy as I take my next step.

Loved Cherished Adored –
More Inner Peace
The peace we are seeking comes from within.
It is always available to us as we listen for it.
It is not connected to what is around us.
It does not happen through following the directives from outside our heart.
We are all impelled from within to find what is most satisfying.
This is the gift we have to offer.
This is the feeling we want to maintain for ourselves.
This is the feeling which surrounds us and which uplifts those who tune into it.
Our inner peace is the most valuable gift we have to offer.
It lets us think clearly.
It lets us convey ideas effectively.
It lets us live with conviction.
It lets us change our circumstances.
We are most attracted to what is lovely in our life.
Our inner peace lets us spend more time there.
We are able to convey this peace through our daily actions.
We are able to live in harmony with our improved circumstances.
We are able to live a completely different life freed from fear or limitation.
There are no limitations on the inner peace which we can learn to cultivate.
We can express it in every step we take as it becomes more of a practice.
We become more sure of ourselves and live with confidence.
We share our wealth of confidence.
We live without dread even in changing times.
There is always an answer through inner listening.
This is how we share our inspiration and peace.

Shared Global Vision-
Gifts for the World
Our best gift for the world is the peace we bring into it.
We first become aware of the peace we can create for ourselves and for our household.
We add to the peace at work.
We maintain our peace by being aware of it wherever we go.
We move ourselves into a peaceful state while we are waiting in traffic, in line, or at a child’s school event.
We take our deep breath and listen within.
Peace becomes a state we can access at any time.
We can be careful of how we listen to the news.
Are we listening to uplifting solutions or to disturbing messages?
Which do we want to let into our life?
We diffuse the effects of agitating news by refusing to let it into our life.
We are not interested in agitation, we are interested in peace.
There are so many organizations which are uplifting people throughout our city.
We can participate in uplifting action.
There are so many organizations which are contributing to uplifting people all over the world.
We can become aware of these and support them.
Our place in the world is determined by the peace we actively engage in.
We stop the unconscious rampage of agitation and disturbances by refusing to participate in the feeling they spread.
We spread a feeling of peace all around us through our patience and generosity of attitude.
We respect the fact that everyone is going through challenges.
We support the ways that we can all deal with our challenges peacefully.
We are grateful to have the contrast in our life which tells us we have become more aware of peace.
This means we are filtering out what does not belong to us. Instead, we are adding to the peace.

Your Diamond Mind –
How to Use My Gifts
My gifts come to me constantly, and when listen within, I can hear them.
Once I feel their presence, I continue listening to know what to do.
My action is based on a listening attitude.
Each gift is a new view of myself and of the world.
It shows me the possibilities through kindness and other uplifting values.
We each have gifts which come from within.
We are guided in how to use them as we acknowledge them.
We can take our tiny steps of expression to accomplish what is important to us.
We discover our strength and courage as we take our tiny steps.
We are here to uplift and to be uplifted.
As we each become inspired and share our gifts, we create a sense of stability and value in our communities.
We see others the way we see ourselves.
We see how precious and skillful and delightful we are.
We see how we all contribute as we create the kind of community we want to live in.
We expand our individual gifts into community-wide projects.
We are where we belong.
Others are empowered to contribute their gifts.
There is a feeling of happiness and generosity.
Everyone feels their power as they contribute to a common purpose.
Creating places which allow us to come together to converse and to share ideas allows the community to grow in inclusive ways.
We all have a desire to be part of something good.
We all have gifts which make it better for all of us.
We can all encourage each other when we interact daily in uplifting ways.
This is the community we want to live in.
